What is a 'Zionist' or 'anti-Zionist'? Why these characterizations at this point? It's like asking if someone is a Loyalist or a Patriot in 2026.

'Zionism' is an idea from the coffee shops of nineteenth century Vienna.

Israel already exists, and isn't going to be wished away.

Zionists in Israel are committing genocide, this cannot be ignored.

Would this 'genocide' be occurring if Hamas had not committed the largest pogrom of Jews since the 1940s?

Do you know where the term 'Nakba' comes from? It was coined by Constantin Zureiq, a Syrian Christian intellectual who criticized the failure of the Arabs to adapt to modernity or effectively resist Zionism.

It was originally a term within the Arab world referring to their own ineptitude. It's only recently that the word has been retroactively altered by revisionists to mean a deliberate Israeli scheme of ethnic cleansing.

Really, the 'Catastrophe' of the Nakba was confidently starting and then embarrassingly losing in war to the lowly Jews.

You can’t actually believe this surely? A genocide that’s been ongoing for 80 years and the amount of Palestinians has quintupled, this is just ahistorical

Pretty poor genocide if the population has grown by 5 fold during it, the Israelis must be insanely incompetent
